I currently work as a nurse part time at the Sanford Heart Hospital. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I enjoy staying active and having structure in my day. I already plan time for walks, fresh air, and being present, so caring for pets blends in perfectly. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check ins, or evening routines, I’m consistent and reliable. I prioritize flexibility in my schedule so I can give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need without feeling rushed.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every pet as if they were my own, while also respecting each pet’s unique routine and personality. In both my home and my client’s home, I focus on maintaining consistency with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, and comfort routines. I keep environments clean, safe, and low stress, and I’m very attentive to behavior changes, energy levels, and overall wellbeing. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and reassurance so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands.

Information Alexandra P. would like to know about your pet

I like to learn as much as possible about each pet ahead of time so I can provide the best care and keep their routine consistent. Important details include feeding schedules, exercise needs, any medications, allergies, and behavioral tendencies (such as anxiety, reactivity, or triggers). I also like to know what they enjoy- favorite toys, walking habits, comfort routines, and anything that helps them feel safe and happy. Understanding how they interact with other animals and people is important as well.

A typical day

I love keeping pets engaged and happy! Depending on their personality and energy level, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, or tug-of-war. For more relaxed pets, I’m just as happy to provide cuddles, and calm time. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and has fun while you’re away.

Reliable & Loving Pet Care 🐾

Pet care experience

I’m very reliable, attentive, and genuinely love caring for animals. As a nurse, I’m naturally detail oriented and calm, so I’m great at sticking to routines, noticing small changes, and handling pets with patience and care. I’m comfortable with all ages, from energetic puppies who need consistency and basic training reinforcement to senior pets who may need a slower pace or medication support. I also prioritize communication, so you’ll always get updates and photos. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress free while you’re away.

We asked Alexandra last minute for a drop-in visit for our very shy Aussie. She was glad to help and very patient with Finley. I felt I can count on her to be on time and follow any instructions needed to care for Finley. She will definitely be the first person we contact for any future bookings!
